This makes me feel nostalgic for the custom IT job I did at this oil-patch vendor a while back. They had a failing Win2k server and a SonicWall residential-class router "securing" their business. I replaced it with a linux based firewall and a linux based file/app server. We basically had to protect the executive network/fileserver from outside and inside threats, keep porn/facebook/twitter off the production floor, and the rest was my design to streamline development/production operations. I've never had so much fun writing iptables rules. It's probably swiss cheese by today's security standards and known vulnerabilities, but it was hot stuff in 2008. :) I guess I cared an awful lot about users of my infrastructure. Now people consumer my relational schemas but I still care.
